The back yard has been thatched, the flowerbeds and the garden have been cleaned, three indoor plants have been re-potted, and I’ve “applied” to a trainer on the track. And the day isn’t even over. I planted four mystery bulbs that my neighbour had given me last fall. I have no idea what they are and she doesn’t remember. I have six left, so I’ll be giving some to my mom, I think. The garden has been half turned for new planting. (Thank you, Jade; I love you!)
Little shoots are shooting up all over the place and some them aren’t weeds!! It’s feels good to be doing yard work at last. The mild winter was such a tease for me. Now my hands are dirty and my cheeks, nose, and forehead are smudged … the cat is tangled, and I’m just in my bliss. Found a bunch of tulip bulbs in the front when we were stirring it up. They were so deep that it was a wonder that we found them. Poor things were trying so hard to grow. I replanted them at the side of the house. I’m not sure what they’ll do in actual sunlight though. They might not do much this year, but next year should be good for them. I love tulips. I don’t love Peonies. Not sure why. A peony was the first flower that a boy had ever given me and I had thought that it was very sweet, but I’ve never been able to like them. I have to split at least one of them though. I wonder what I’ll do with the section(s) I take off? Maybe I’ll pot it and sell it. Or I’ll give it away to a friend. Who knows?
So, the Garden that even the Gods come to visit is beginning.
I’m SO HAPPY!!!!
Mmm .. nibbles … I’ve got the nibbles. Not quite the munchies, but enough to drive me crazy.
When I dropped off my application at the guardhouse, the security guard told me that I should have come in last week to look for work. (I KNOW!!) I was all ready to do so, but my boyfriend came into the room with those big, hopeful, baby blue eyes and asked if I was staying home for another week!! How could I say ‘no’ to that???
Apparently a bunch of kids from the coast came in last week looking for work.
Well, if I get a job, I get a job … and if I don’t, it won’t be the end of the world. I’ll work at McDonald’s if I have to.
Maybe.
So I’ve still been wracking my brains over what office title was suggested to me as a career move and I think I’ve remembered it. Promotional Marketing. Or something like that. I’m close, if not correct. Maybe I should try to get a job through Northlands for that. It’s something I can do from home … Hmm …
It’s an idea …
Nothing new happening with my craft and bake sale. Which is sad … I’m going to try to send out the notice for it one more time. Third time’s the Charm, you know. Power of Three and all that. That, and I’m going to take off the stupid background graphic in the background. That should help.
I’ve started playing D&D again. Spent last Sunday just putting my character together. It was lots of fun doing it in group. Getting lots of good ideas and looking at things from other angles. I now have a fantastic partial background for my character … makes feel like writing another story. But I haven’t finished the one about Nessa yet!! ARGH!!
Makes me hope that I don’t get hired for the rest of the Spring Meet … just so I can get some writing done … in between crafting sessions and yard work! I need more time in the day!! And then I’ll need more energy! I get tired just thinking about thoroughbreds coming in. Seven days a week. I’m going to be so burnt out.

Got a strange response back from one of the aunts in regards to the sale invitation that I sent out. Maybe I typed it too fast. She seemed a bit confused, at first, as to what I was trying to say … then promptly told me that she doesn’t do that sort of thing. * shrug*
Whatever. I replied that I was just making sure that everybody I had an addy for got invited so that nobody felt left out. And I know her nose in particular would have been seriously out of joint in some shape or form.
I told you we were all talented.
Well, Friday’s not looking so good right now. Maybe when the sun comes out. Jade is going golfing this evening around 4-ish … and I’m pretty sure that getting him to do anything before at least noon will be difficult and require such an effort of nagging that it won’t be worth the hassle. So there will be almost four hours to get some things done. Three if he decides he’ll need a shower, shave, etc …
Anyway, I hope to get a few seeds picked out today and the garden plotted. Jade had mentioned that he might get the rest of the garden forked for me today … I knew that depended on his golf ‘schedule’ though. And he’s got at least one friend that likes to suddenly call early in the morning and disrupt any plans we might have for the day because my loving dipstick can’t say ‘no’ to golf.
Got things tidied up yesterday … almost all of my paperwork is now out of the boxes and put in a proper place. Have to find a permanent place for my bulletin board though. I can’t pin anything on it where it is right now. Well, I could if I climbed up on my desk, but I don’t want to keep doing that. I bought the thing for easy reference, dammit. Which does not describe it’s current location.
Ah, yes, the big news … We’re buying a truck this Saturday. Jade has already started the process, but we have to go and finalise it all on Saturday. So … I’ll have my own vehicle soon. I get the current truck. I should probably be more excited about that … maybe once it’s actually mine and I’m driving it.
I’m still not working. The trainer that I tried to contact still hasn’t replied to my letter, so I guess he doesn’t need help after all. Jade offered to try and get me a job with his company as an apprentice. All he has to do is find a minute to talk with the boss man. Well, I hope this all gets resolved quickly, because I’m not used to not having my own cash anymore!
We’ll see. Good things happen to those who wait, right?
Well? I’m waiting!
Sweet Dreams!
